When Phil and I got up yesterday, we weren’t sure exactly
which excursion we’d take. We thought of going to Isole Tremiti, which is a
beautiful local island, but we’d be there from before 8 am to 7 pm. Seeing that
we got up at 8:30, that one was scratched. So we went to Alberobello, a UNESCO
World Heritage site with Trulli style houses. Mom joined us for this trip and
we all ate lunch together in a Trulli.
When we got back to the house, we dropped mom off and went
on over to Termoli for the San Basso festival. We made it in time to see the
solemn processional, complete with the bones of San Basso being paraded around
the streets. The city was alive with people taking walks, musicians, and the
smell of fresh crepes and roasted nuts. We ended up eating at Anima and Core.
We all just checked into the Hilton Rome Airport hotel and
will be heading into town soon.
